Passport stored in a basket, I press my face to a halo pillow so someone will touch and touch me. I wait within a synthetic cadence of ocean waves’ crescendos. The body is a lonely crossroads.

The best possible approach is to conduct a multicenter prospective cohort study that enrolls donors and nondonors with similar indicators of baseline health and follows them with minimal loss to follow-up for outcomes. We conducted such a study to produce estimates of kidney... Читать дальше...

After the US Food and Drug Administration first authorized a medical device that harnessed artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in colonoscopies in 2021, the use of this computer-aided detection technology has grown. Now, new research shows that AI-assisted colonoscopies result in the detection of more polyps and adenomas than traditional methods with only a minimal increase in procedure time.
